Westport, n. y. think it is best to let
the credit go where it belongs. Messrs.
Abare a. Richards of Chazy, n. Y, own
two fine bay mares, Chazy Maid, 2;29l
and Lady Patsy, 2:35. But the latter can
enter the charmed circle at any time they
wish to have her. They were sired by a
horse called George NJ. Patchen, jr.
sometimes called Chazy Patchen. Hewas
bred by William Parker of Manchester,
~ H., was sired by Jones Cassius NJ.
Clay, jr., out of a Morgan mare. Chazy
Patchen is also the sire of other good ones
that are liable to enter the 30 list, among
them Little Pete, Dan s., Orrin and Bub-
by Patchen." The above writer is mis-
taken about Chazy Patchen, lie was
neither bred nor owned by Mr.. Parker of
Manchester. He and the Parker horse are
distinct animals.
